Jiangnan East Road, Jinling City, southeast of the city, the original Jinling Palace.

Outside the huge Zhu Gate, the two huge stone lions are still formidable, and the armored forbidden army is standing solemnly, adding a bit of murderous atmosphere. Above the Zhu Gate, the original signboard of "Jinling Palace" has been removed, and the gold-lettered plaque of the new "Jinling Lecture Hall" is clearly visible, which is eye-catching.

Entering the gate of the "Jinling Lecture Hall", there was a hot scene inside, countless craftsmen and people were sweating, and even officials were busy with cattle.

Since the beginning of the year, the Jinling Palace has been very lively, but it is not a large-scale construction, just the destruction and expansion of the teaching field, as well as partial transformation.

"Remember, the cloisters will be paved with bricks and stones today!"

The white-haired general Zhang Zhongshu, the young eunuch, was sweating profusely and commanding the craftsmen to work.

It is now the beginning of February, and it is only more than 20 days before the opening of the lecture hall.

A group of people came over with two wooden signs several meters long, on which the red letters "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door" and "Please go his way if you are promoted to become rich".

"Zhang Gong, how to hang this signboard, where to hang it?"

A craftsman asked aloud.

"Outside the gate, follow me!"

Another official hurriedly waved his hand and left with the craftsmen and the people.

Zhang Zhongshu looked at the two huge wooden cards and couldn't help frowning and shaking his head.

This signboard is hanging outside the door, is there anyone still coming to apply for the martial arts hall?

"Wei Xianggong, you're here too."

When he turned around, he saw Wei Liaoweng coming over with a group of officials, and Zhang Zhongshu hurriedly greeted him.

"I just came from Jinling University Hall. Zhang Gong, how is the cloister shop? ”

Wei Liaoweng looked at the busy construction site, and his concern was overflowing.

After two months of working in Jinling City, he was haggard and much darker.

"Gong Wei, it will take about three days, and it will be fully paved."

Zhang Zhongshu nodded to Wei Liaoweng, and then asked:

"Wei Gong, those wooden targets, single ...... Bars, parallel bars, and dumb ...... How's the bell and the Trojan horse ready? ”

The strange-shaped instruments mentioned by the emperor were all supervised by the craftsmen of the imperial court's Ministry of Industry, and then transported to Jinling, and then installed.

"Back to Xianggong, the equipment has just been delivered to a part, and the installation will start tomorrow, and it will take about two to three days to complete the installation. The rest are intermittent and should be delivered in a few days. ”

Zhang Zhongshu's words made Wei Liaoweng nod lightly and solemnly admonished:

"Zhang Gong, remember, you must pretend to be strong, and you must not be perfunctory! Our new emperor can't tolerate sand in his eyes! ”

"Wei Gong rest assured! The new emperor attaches so much importance to it, the enrollment of Wutang is announced to the world, and you Wei Gong is in charge, how dare I be vague! ”

Zhang Zhongshu put away his smiling face, and he was also serious.

Jinling Jiangwu Hall is only renovated, and there are many palaces and houses, but even so, it took 300,000 yuan. The students' school uniforms and dormitory supplies alone account for nearly half.

As for Jinling University Hall, because there are still some additional houses, the progress will be slower, and of course the cost will be several times higher.

The first fire of the new emperor's new policy cannot be extinguished.

"More than a thousand people, this church doesn't seem to be big enough......"

Wei Liaoweng looked at the teaching field and pondered.

Initially, there are more than 1,000 students, and if the enrollment is expanded, or a large number of outsiders study and observe, the teaching field will be smaller.

"Duke Wei, if you expand the teaching field, this palace in front of you will have to be demolished."

Zhang Zhongshu's words made Wei Liaoweng's eyes light up.

This front hall is just located on the north-south central axis, and there are no side halls on either side. If the front hall were to be demolished, the church hall would be twice as large.

Half a day of study, half a day of practice, the teaching field is very important, and it must accommodate the activities of one or two thousand people.

Wei Liaoweng immediately made a decision, he pointed to the front hall, and his face became solemn.

"Qiao Xianggong, if the front hall is demolished, the ground is tidied up, and the straight road is paved, can it be completed before the end of the month?"

"Duke Wei, it is slow to build, and fast to dismantle. If you rush overnight, twenty days should be enough. ”

Qiao Xingjian, who was also gray-haired, pinched his fingers and quickly replied.

In the renovation and construction of Jinling University Hall and Jinling Lecture Hall, he was Wei Liaoweng's named partner to assist Wei Liaoweng in completing the "mission". After more than two months of busyness, I already have experience.

He is sixty-nine years old, but he is pure and self-reliant, has always been in good health, well-informed, and has rich experience, which is also the reason why he was transferred.

"Good! The wood of the doors and windows that were removed, including the wall tiles, should not be wasted, and all of them should be moved to the Jinling University Hall. Build a house over there, don't waste it! ”

Wei Liaoweng solemnly admonished.

The list of Jiangwutang's enrollment has been posted, informing the world that many young people who have applied for the examination have come to Jinling City. If the building is not completed by then, and the lecture hall cannot open on time, then the joke will be too big.

"Gong Wei, the construction period is a few days late, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Look at you, that's too much work! ”

Zhang Zhongshu looked at Wei Liaoweng's serious face, and said with a smile.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his temples seemed to turn white. This hard work and this spirit of wind and fire are really admirable.

"It's okay a few days late in Jinling University Hall, those sons and brothers can come at any time. Jinling lectures on martial arts but can't, the emperor's edict, if the school can't be opened at that time, the emperor's face will be dull, and the court will lose its majesty, and our sins will be great. ”

Wei Liaoweng shook his head, with a black haggard face, looking really stressed.

The first fire of the emperor's new policy cannot be extinguished, or it cannot be burned.

"Qiao Xianggong, over there in Jinling University Hall, you should hurry up, don't be too late. When the emperor was in Jinling, it was best for Jinling University Hall to be able to open. If it really can't be done, the student dormitory of Jinling University Hall can be rented first, so as to ensure that the school can open at the end of March or early April. ”

It would be best if the two schools could open at the same time while the emperor was here.

"Gong Wei, I'll go over to Jinling University Hall right away and supervise the progress."

Qiao Xingjian nodded, took a few officials, and left tremblingly.

"Duke Wei, where the emperor stays......"

Zhang Zhongshu said softly, a little hesitant.

"The emperor personally explained that his residence was in the lecture hall. Put the emperor's room and those instructors' together, and choose the largest and brightest one. In addition, next door to the emperor's room, leave me a room too, which is decent, just like other instructors. ”

Wei Liaoweng explained carefully.

The emperor is young and vigorous and likes everything to be simple, but the face of the Great Song Dynasty royal family and the Great Song Dynasty court is still needed.

"Duke Wei, I heard that Your Majesty is going to serve as the principal of the Lecture Martial Hall, so your Majesty may stay here for many days. I wonder if it is better to leave a side hall in the back garden as a place for His Majesty to deal with political affairs. ”

Zhang Zhongshu's words made Wei Liaoweng's eyes light up and nodded appreciatively.

"Zhang Xianggong, you are still thoughtful!"

The dignified Jinling Lecture Hall, the national capital, and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, if there is no place for an emperor to deal with government affairs, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth.

"Duke Wei, the Humble Administrator's Garden in the back garden, not big or small, there are ponds and flowers and bamboo bushes, the pavilions are scattered, the willows are still around, exquisite and simple, and can be the place where His Majesty governs."

Zhang Zhongshu had obviously considered it and immediately proposed a backup plan.

"Irrigating the garden and vegetables for the meal of the morning and evening, is also the government of the clumsy", called the place of clumsy government. Zhang Gong, you are old and serious, but you have helped a lot! ”

Wei Liaoweng was in a good mood and laughed.

Or the old minister is thoughtful and prepared.

"Gong Wei, I heard that Ling Lang and Zhen Yanai are both preparing to apply for the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, but you have a successor!"

Zhang Zhongshu smiled and asked softly.

"The dog is stubborn, but he and Zhenzhidao have come to Jinling, and now the guard Ma Junsi practices riding and shooting. I hope they can make a difference and serve the country. ”

When it comes to his son, Wei Liweng is also licking the calf.

"Your Majesty personally taught, Duke Wei...... Ahem......"

Zhang Zhongshu coughed as he spoke.

"Gong Zhang, I heard that you were sick in bed a few days ago. Can you hold on? ”

Wei Liaoweng looked at Zhang Zhongshu and asked with concern.

Both of them are fellow villagers in Sichuan, and they are both famous families in Sichuan, Wei Liaoweng is the Wei Gao clan of Pujiang, and Zhang Zhongshu is the grandson of Zhang Jun, the famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhang Zhongshu is a few years older, but he looks much older.

"Don't hide it from Duke Wei, Shi Miyuan's dictatorship, the decline of the government, and the difficulty of doing state affairs, I am always unhappy in my heart. Shi Miyuan is gone, my heart disease is gone, and I feel that my body and bones are getting better! ”

Zhang Zhongshu's face was radiant, he looked red, and his complexion was really much better than before.

"Gong Zhang, then you have to thank the emperor. If he hadn't set things right and killed the thief, you would have continued to be tortured! ”

Wei Liaoweng laughed.

He always had some regret in his heart that he couldn't personally see Shi Miyuan being punished by the Ming Dynasty.

"Shi Miyuan, the old thief, he is gone, the clouds open and see the sun, the world is peaceful, and the Great Song Dynasty also has hope. I hope that the old man will be able to see the day of the Great Song Dynasty in his lifetime. ”

Zhang Zhongshu's emotion was in his eyes, and Wei Liaoweng also nodded again and again.

"Zhang Gong, the new emperor Tianzong genius, Wen Taowu strategy, you will definitely be able to see the day of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Just at Zhao Hong's bold efforts to overcome public opinion, he felt that the Great Song Dynasty was full of hope and the future was promising.

"Duke Wei, you are only in your forties, and the spring and autumn period are in full bloom. Xue Ji and Xuan Xuan are both over the age of six, Hu Yu is greedy, it won't take three or five years, it will be the world of you and Zhen Dexiu, Hu Mengyu and others. You have to hold on, don't be confused! ”

Zhang Zhongshu said meaningfully.

"Thank you Zhang Gong for teaching! Keep it in mind and dare not forget! ”

Wei Liaoweng solemnly replied with a salute.

He is only forty-six this year, Zhen Dexiu is the same age as him, the two of them are in the prime of life, compared with the current ruling ministers Xue Jixuan, they do have an obvious age advantage.

Hu Yu is greedy?

Wei Liaoweng and Zhang Zhongshu looked at each other, and Zhang Zhongshu bowed slightly.

Wei Liaoweng nodded slightly, secretly frightened.

Hu Yu was notorious, and the new emperor remained as the ruler. Could it be that the anti-corruption fire of the New Deal will burn to the body of a ruling minister like Hu Yu, killing chickens and monkeys and shocking the world?

The scheming of the new emperor can be described as extremely deep!
